Add .gitattributes to work around spotless issue with eol

Is spotless still causing an issue for you - I thought you were now on Linux? If this has no affects on Linux I'm fine with this.

This was happening while back. I am not sure I knew that it was spotless that was causing it until I saw the same behavior in another repository. That led me to that ticket saying that for some reason spotless will change all of the newlines and for some reason the only way to configure it seems to be through a .gitattributes file which it reads.

Unrelated to this specific issue, this file helps keep eols from changing accidentally. For example, it looks like the gradlew.bat file has an eol of lf even though it's a DOS file which would have crlf. Is this the only Windows file in the codebase? It looks like someone has accidentally changed the eol on the .bat file. I tried "upgrading" the gradle wrapper to the same version, and the new .bat file definitely has crlf, but it has also changed -all zip to -bin zip. Is that OK?

I'd rather keep the wrapper distribution type as all. See https://mrhaki.blogspot.com/2016/09/gradle-goodness-specify-wrapper-version.html

I figured out how to set it in the build file too. I will submit it as a separate PR I guess it's only tangentially related. See #239.
